Champions First in Saints' Premier League Return

Saints have been handed the toughest possible start in their return to the Premier League after a seven-year absence with a trip to champions Manchester City. The first game at St Mary's is against Wigan Athletic, and that is shortly followed by Manchester United and a trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal. Saints will finish the season at home to Stoke City on May 19th.
